'Mr. President, we had a good season but we also need to see that our tactics played a big role at the beginning and that we didn't play in the Champions Cup, which allowed us to play better in the league. IMHO, the tactics we are used to now, when facing weak teams, the rate of points grabbing is very high, but when facing teams with similar strength to us, it is a bit insufficient. Otherwise, in the two games against AC Milan and the two games against Juventus, I wouldn't have changed my tactics. We don't have any problems up front, but in midfield we have to step up. ”

"Our midfield seems to be pretty good......," Fachetti said with some hesitation.

"No, it's still far away. The midfield has always been the strongest link in my team, but now at Inter Milan, the midfield is the weakest link. I'm not saying Perrotta can't do it, they're actually very good players, but the biggest problem with our midfield is the lack of creativity. Dick nodded.

"Lack of creativity?" Moratti couldn't help but say: "We've scored a lot of goals this year......

'Yes, we scored a lot of goals, but don't forget, there were a lot of goals that were scored by the individual quality of our strikers...... In midfield, Zanetti is in charge of defense, he does not have much playmaking ability, Mascherano is his substitute, the characteristics are similar to him, even if his playmaking skills are better, not to the point of being able to replace a playmaker. Farinos is a good candidate, but he is not young now, and his strength has dropped a lot, he is not unable to be the core, but for Inter Milan, his core is still much worse. ”

"Dejan and Simeone ......," Facchetti said.

'Stankovic is a very well-rounded midfielder, but he's not a playmaker, his movement and his all-round range are what he excels at. It's the same with Perrotta, his running, his ability to pass and his ability to cut forward is what I value, but neither of them is a playmaker. Dick shook his head: "Calagounis is limited, Semioli is a wide attacker, and Di Natale is more suitable to play as a striker...... Last season we never organised an attack in midfield, we were all quick to create a killing opportunity through the midfield, although the midfielders scored a lot of goals, but they were all done forward, and we still have big flaws. Last season, we actually had to play against a few big teams in the league and we didn't have any real big teams in the UEFA Cup, but in the Champions Cup, we had to play a lot of teams to win, and without the playmakers, we wouldn't be in a good position in the Champions Cup. ”

"What about Pandev? He had a lot of great assists last season. Facchetti asked again.

"He's a natural setter. But he won't organize. Dick shrugged his shoulders: "Last season he was just in charge of the last pass, and if he was allowed to organize, we could have died an ugly death." Actually, like Di Natale, he is suitable to play as a striker rather than a midfielder, but last season there were too many strikers and there was a shortage of people in the midfield, so I asked them to play in midfield. ”

"If we bring in a midfielder, are we going to sell these two strikers?" Facchetti asked.

'Of course not, they're going to have a big role up front. The striker is for sale, but not the two of them, but Recoba and Martins. Dick said calmly: "Martins is too single, Recoba's play is good and bad, these two strikers, we don't need them, especially when there will be fresh blood in the midfield." Tony, Adriano, Cruise, Di Natale, Pandev, five strikers are enough, these two strikers, I don't need them. ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go......" Moratti sighed, although these two strikers are his favorites, but he has promised Dirk everything in the team, and this season's success has also proved that Dick's judgment is correct, if it is true that Recoba and Martins will not have any positions, then they are reluctant to stay, it is useless, it is better to find a good home, which can also make them perform better.

"They didn't play badly last season and they shouldn't be worried." Dick said with a smile.

Fachetti nodded, Martins also scored more than ten goals in all competitions last season, plus he is still young, the past three years have not been bad, I want his team to not be less, and Recoba is not old, now only twenty-nine years old, with his previous performance and fame, it is normal to find a good position in Europe.

"In the midfield, Semioli, Calagounis and Farinos are all substitutes, if you want to stay, you can stay, if you don't want to stay, you can release people, and then prepare other reinforcements...... By the way, Mr. President, the most important thing, how much transfer budget can I have this summer? Dick lit a cigarette.

"How much do you want?" Fachetti asked with a smile.

"I'll do the math." Dick really pulled a piece of paper and then calculated: "The strikers don't need to add people, our forward line is already very good...... At the back, Chiellini I want to take it back, I don't think it will cost much. Pasquale is not of much use, he is not too young, he has no development potential, he can sell it, and he can't play the main force. The rest is not much to change, although the four main players are not young, but they are all in good shape, Maggio, Arbeloa, Andreoli, Chiellini, four substitutes are enough. In the midfield, at least two candidates will be brought in, and one or two substitutes will be brought in, which is the position where the money will be spent, and I estimate that it will cost at least 20 million...... Well, at least, a transfer budget of 30 million is needed, maybe I don't need that much, but I need to have such a budget. ”

Moratti and Facchetti glanced at each other, and then Moratti said exaggeratedly: "What, only 30 million?" ”

"Boss, our squad is actually quite complete...... The main addition is the midfielder, although such a superstar is not easy to do, but there are a few suitable candidates, and we will sell some people, to be honest, maybe I can complete the blood exchange this summer without spending a penny. Dick laughed.

"You can really help me save money...... Moratti sighed.

"Credibility Guaranteed." Dick shrugged his shoulders: "I'm really not the kind of manager who can just throw hundreds of millions of dollars to be successful." ”

"I think when you were in Dortmund, there was a special clause in the contract...... Moratti said after a moment's thought.

"yes, if I can win the league, then I can get half of what I earn in the transfer market." Dick nodded.

"In that case, I'd like to play the same with you." Moratti laughed: "The budget of 30 million euros, if you can win the Champions Cup, half of the excess and unspent transfer budget will become your bonus...... What do you think? ”

"Isn't that sending me money?" Dick couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you so confident? You know, if you take this bonus, the prize money in our previous contract for winning the Champions Cup will not be there, that's four million! Moratti was taken aback, he was just joking, after all, although such a share seems to be more than four million, but who knows how much it will need to spend in the transfer market? If you spend too much, you might not be able to win the Champions Cup, who knows that Dick seems to be so sure?

"Boss, if you really sign such a contract with me, I can guarantee that what I will get in the end will be much more than four million." Dick laughed slightly: "It's up to you to sign this contract with me." ”

Moratti and Facchetti looked at each other, if the condition was the league title, they thought Dick would definitely be able to get the money, but the Champions Cup? Is that something that can be obtained casually? No kidding!

"Di, I'm not trying to take advantage of you...... Such a contract clause, you must know that I am also willing to sign, after all, it is equivalent to a guarantee, and it can also allow you to think wholeheartedly about Inter Milan's finances in the transfer market, which I have taken advantage of. Moratti said to Dick seriously.

"I'm taking advantage of it too...... I'm probably going to get a lot more money than I was before. Dick laughed: "Anyway, I need money now, and no amount of money is enough for me, if the boss is really willing to sign this contract clause with me, then I'm welcome." ”

With all that said, what else does Moratti have to say? If you really win the Champions Cup and save more than 8 million euros in transfer funds, this is not only Dick taking advantage, but also Inter Milan Club will take advantage of it a lot - just this income and expenditure, it will look much better to do accounts, Italian clubs care about this, and if they can win the Champions Cup, not to mention that the wool is out of the sheep, even if Moratti pays Dick 10 million euros out of his own pocket, he is willing to do it!

"Okay, then we'll settle it!" Moratti nodded: "Modify the contract, naturally someone will do it, the 30 million transfer funds will soon be hit to the club's account, how to use it next, it's up to you to do, whether it's selling or buying, you are fully responsible, how much is left at that time, half of it will be put in a separate account, get the Champions Cup, this money belongs to you!" ”

"Then I'll thank you first!" Dick laughed.

"If I knew that I sold people last year, I wouldn't have sold so hard...... Well, there are a few people who can still make some money if they fight well...... But forget it, I can make a sum of money, 30 million euros, plus the addition of personnel, maybe I can really get it without spending a penny, after all, there are still a few players in the team that I don't need, but can sell them at a little price, and a little proper arrangement should be enough. ”

After walking out of Moratti's office, Dick regretted that he sold people too much last year, such as Van der Meyde, Emre, Keeley, Caron and other players if they were sharpened, maybe they could be sold at a better price, but because they wanted to quickly slim down the team and form a new fighting force, they were casually sold, and now they can only sigh......
